“I ride 150km per week on a Cannondale – it’s my first ever road bike as I only started riding a year ago.”

Why are you fund raising?

“The Lilyroo Ride provides an opportunity to step outside my comfort zone and personally contribute to a wonderful cause. This journey will be a special way to honour the memory of Lily’s life and help raise awareness for all the wonderful support and care provided by the Newborn Intensive & Special Care (NISC) unit at the Royal Women’s Hospital. I have no doubt this ride will be incredibly challenging and I will be drawing on the support crew, volunteers and peloton to help get me to the finish line on the 11th April 2015.”
